I shot down what I believe is a Sectoid Troop Ship. The Arctic mission map greeted me with a sea of 15+ Cyberdiscs, 6 Alien Turrets of two different varieties, and of course plenty of armored Sectoids. My agents are getting trounced.
Any tips / strategies for this mission?
I'm mid-game, armed with a few Nitro Express Rifles (on agents with ~100 ACC), two Heavy Lasers, a Laser Sniper Rifle, a Gauss Rifle, a Star Musket (on my Chief Agent w/ high ACC & PST although it still feels disappointing), a Thrasher Heavy Shotgun, a Sonic Pistol, High Explosives, a limited number of EMP grenades, and some Stun Rods. Also brought an Outrunner/LASER and a dog.
I tried blanketing my troops with smoke, but the turrets are hitting me right through it. Tried a "peek-and-shoot" strategy, hopping out of my ship, shooting, and retreating back inside, but they're poking holes right through the walls of my Kitsune.
I managed to survive the first turn (and take out maybe a dozen enemies), but just barely. I need to beef up my tactics, or give up and Abort.
Any advice?
